The Dallas Public Library and Dallas Morning News are looking for high school students interested in writing and journalism to participate in the fall 2019 session of Storytellers Without Borders.

The program is open to any Dallas high schooler with an interest in storytelling. Each student will be assigned a professional journalist as a mentor and will participate in workshops on interviewing, self-editing, photojournalism, ethics and more.

Students will be guided through the process of writing a story for publication, from initial pitch to final edits. Those stories may appear in The Dallas Morning News or be published online at swbdallas.org.

"Storytellers allows high school students the opportunity to ask questions of their schools, their communities, their cities," said Lauren Smart, the program's coordinator. "It gives them the tools, both reporting and writing, to think through big ideas and put them into stories."

Sessions will be Wednesdays from 6 to 7:30 p.m. for eight weeks starting Sept. 25 at the J. Erik Jonsson Central Library in downtown Dallas.

The deadline to apply for Storytellers Without Borders is Sept. 13. The application and more information can be found at swbdallas.org.
